Walkin' The Line
Beach Boys · Other Songs - Beach Boys
I walk the line everyday for you
I keep on workin'
I keep on workin' everyday for you
If I don't get my way this time I'll die
And that's no lie
Walk, walk, walk, I keep on walkin' the line
Run, run, run, I'm runnin' outta my mind
I need your love I need your love tonight
Gimmee, gimmee, gimmee, gimmee lovin' tonight
I need your lovin'
(Lovin')
Lovin'
(Lovin')
Lovin' lovin'
Wah wa-wa wah wah wah
I keep on pushin'
I keep on pushin' so hard for you
I keep on tryin'
I keep on tryin' my best for you
I know we'll keep on searchin' until that day
Till we find a way
Walk, walk, walk, I keep on walkin' the line
Run, run, run, I'm runnin' outta my mind
I need your love I need your love tonight
Gimmee, gimmee, gimmee, gimmee lovin' tonight
I need your lovin'
(Lovin')
Lovin'
(Lovin')
Lovin' lovin'
Wah wa-wa wah wah wah
Walk, walk, walk, I keep on walkin' the line
Run, run, run, I'm runnin' outta my mind (hey hey)
I need your love I need your love tonight
Gimmee, gimmee, gimmee, gimmee lovin' tonight
I need your lovin'
Walk, walk, walk, I keep on walkin' the line
(Lovin')
(Walkin' the line)
Run, run, run, I'm runnin' outta my mind (hey hey)
I need your love I need your love tonight
Gimmee, gimmee, gimmee, gimmee lovin' tonight
I need your lovin'
Walkin' The Line
As a staple of The Beach Boys' catalog, 'Walkin' The Line' exemplifies the group's signature blend of harmonies and surf-rock energy. Recorded during the band's formative years, the track showcases their ability to craft melodic pop songs that defined the California sound of the late 1960s. The composition features the intricate vocal arrangements and rhythmic guitar work characteristic of Brian Wilson's production style, capturing the optimism and youthful spirit often found in their earlier recordings. While the song lacks the complex studio experimentation of their later work, it remains a representative piece of their discography, highlighting the band's foundational approach to harmony and melody before they evolved into more experimental territories.
